Suburb - Risks

Hazard item counts

GET/v1/suburbs/{suburb_name}/risks/counts5¢ per call

Counts of contamination points, heritage items and erosion-prone polygons inside the suburb.

Exact suburb identifier required. Exact ABS Suburb and Locality (SAL) name, e.g. Burwood (NSW) — many suburbs carry a state suffix. If starting from free text or an unverified bare name, first call GET /v1/geocode/suburb?q=<text>, then use the exact data[].area_name it returns. Suburb data endpoints do not guess a state or typo-correct names.

Price: 5¢ per call.
